Come June, promise the owners of SSQQ, the popular social dance studio will reopen just to the west of Restaurant Depot, in the former Kmart beached on the asphalt shores at 20th St. and T.C. Jester near Timbergrove.
Last weekend, SSQQ shut down the Bellaire strip-center site it had occupied for 30 years. Why’d it up and leave? Doctors’ orders, reports the Bellaire Examiner‘s Steve Mark: First Street Hospital, which owns the center on Bissonnet just outside the Loop, is planning an expansion that would slice the center in half, knocking out SSQQ, Sweetwater Pool & Patio, and a Radio Shack. (Not all is lost, though: Charlie’s Hamburgers and that nail salon in the center at 4803 Bissonnet will get to stay.)
Besides easy access to restaurant supplies, what’s in store for students taking a swing at new Bachata and Whip moves at SSQQ’s new location?

Maybe a few drinks?

Great! You can swing AND swig at the same time!
I’m beyond excited about this move! I LOVE SSQQ and it’s close to my home! Whooohooo!
Love SSQQ, good news!
Something is better than nothing, I guess. If only they could convince someone to fire up the grills at pecos…
I too love SSQQ. And I prefer the new location. But they always had beer and wine on party nights…
time to get my dancing shoes! -timbergrove resident
